If you were a banker, would you want to lock your balance sheet into pitiful yields on your loan portfolio at today’s lending rates?

You're right. There is a small local bank that hasn't made 30 year mortgage loans for the last few years, at least.

It’s a cash crunch. There isn’t enough capital being put into the marketplace. People want to borrow, good deals exist, but they can’t. Bernanke is pushing on a string.
